Mehendi

Start the festivities with a fun-filled mehendi event! Brides, you’re going to get gorgeous henna on your arms and feet and this outfit is just perfect for that. The bralette ensures your arms are free and you don’t get henna stains, while you look stunning in all the photos. Grooms, sport this gorgeous teal mirror-work kurta to look dapper, as you spend time with family and friends!

Sangeet

Planning to dance the night away at your sangeet? Well then, you have to look as glam as possible! Ladies, pick a light pastel-coloured lehenga with embellishments that will glitter every time the light hits. Go for a unique neckline to highlight your outfit while partying. Boys, have a little fun with a monochrome kurta-pyjama set and Nehru jacket with intricate threadworks. It’s comfy all while ensuring you look as handsome as possible!

Cocktail Dinner

Hosting a cocktail night for friends and family is a must during the wedding week, so pull out all the stops and go all glam! Try a kaftan-style anti-fit dress with sequin detailing for the evening. The unique silhouette will be a refreshing change from all the saris and lehengas you’ve picked out for the festivities.

And why should the bride have all the fun? Grooms, go for a suit that stands out and is as unique as you are. The addition of a whimsical blazer is just what you need. Let the bead and embroidery work do all the talking.

Haldi

After a night of partying, you’re all ready to gear up for your wedding day, starting off with the haldi ceremony. So, before you ask Alexa to play Kabira, let’s decide on dressing light and simple, and most importantly in yellow, for this event! Brides and grooms, keep the silhouettes with a touch of white and yellow. While ladies can wear lots of floral jewellery, the gentleman can channel their inner suave with a pair of sunglasses and Kolhapuri shoes. Most importantly, don’t forget to pose for photos and have lots of fun!
